Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, is known for her impeccable style, and her love for classic tweed jackets is no exception. In 2021, she sported a luxurious belted tweed jacket by Really Wild during a trip to Cumbria, showcasing her affinity for sophisticated countryside attire. While the £495 jacket is now sold out, there are plenty of similar styles available for those looking to emulate her look without breaking the bank.
Marks and Spencer has stepped up with a budget-friendly alternative, offering a Tweed Tailored Houndstooth Blazer for just £79. This stylish piece features the traditional houndstooth pattern and a double-breasted design, making it both contemporary and classic. Shoppers are raving about its versatility, praising its ability to be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. One reviewer wrote, “The size guidelines are perfect. The jacket is light though feels substantial both in quality and feel. Would recommend this garment and works both formal and casual setting.”
Looking for another option? Mint Velvet’s Black Herringbone Blazer offers a more luxurious feel for £190. If you’re on a tighter budget, Oliver Tweed’s 1920s Herringbone Blazer is on sale at Debenhams for a very affordable £74.79.
These affordable alternatives allow you to channel Kate Middleton’s timeless style without having to splurge on a designer piece. So, whether you’re looking for a chic addition to your workwear wardrobe or a statement piece for a weekend outing, consider adding a tweed jacket to your closet this season.
